conclusion from this questions:

1. in general insecurity is a way of telling the scared or the bad feeling of people when they go out their homes or they go to the street because they know something bad can happen to them. is when you dont feel secure. it is how its name tell us insecurity when people feel INSECURE. Popleo feel stress and nerves and it is a feeling inside you were you dont feel in generally secure because you have in your mind and you know something dangerous could happen.

2. vandalism is a vandalic act were there is included many things such as:
graffiti
smashing of windows
interference with road signs
etc
vandalism is when people which dont have enaugh care for their city damage things or public places and some times this vandals acts could be dangeroud for the public.

3. obiosly know there is a lot much insecurity than in the pass. always insecurity in cali has been growing up and each time it is more dangerous to thw public. if you ask your grandparents they will tell that at that time insecurity was not such a big problem in the city. then your parents also there was not so much insecurity people could feel insecure but NOT SO MUCH AS NOW!..now at this time insecurity is a dangerous and bad problem that it should finish now if we want a best city and a best world.

4. the caracteristcs of vandalism are:
graffitti
smash of windows and bus shelters
dumping of refuse
fouling of pavments
abandoned vehicles
interference with road signs.
specially this is what vandalism is about this are the most frequesntly and the most important kind of vandals acts they are.

5. insecurity in cali works when a group of bad people, specially teenagers make some kind of bad acts that caused an effect into a society. this people concidered that this people from gangs do it because they dont care about the city, also they dont have love for cali. "as an example i would take the Mio stations. how you have seen since the Mio started to role in cali the stations had no been respected. vandalic people had drawn graffiti on this windows also bad people has smash them. this shows they are not showing respect and love for cali. describing in generall how does insecurity work in Cali in when a group of bad people make some kind of acts or when they kidnapped someone or robberies or make acts of vandalism or other kinds of bad acts which affect our city in many ways and that caused an impact on society.

6. what are the points of view of people about insecurity and what is your point of view?

well, peoples point of view is very different. some people belief that insecurity is not such important. if you ask people of vandalism or people that caused insecurity they would tell you obiosly that insecurity is a good thing because it is a god way of entertainment, because it is something that if they do it they cant stop it because they like it, and because in some caises like robberies to get money in a more easy way for them. but really they dont think about the effects that this caused on society because insecurity in many ways affect us and people need to get the responsability to stop it now if we want better world. my p.o.v about insecurity is that it should get over our city needs to grow up without vandalism with our kidnapping an really we need to finish this problems but however every body need to contribute with god acts for this. this is my p.o.v about insecurity.

7. how is insecurity connected with other problems or with other things?

well insecurity could be connected with many things. but for example here drugs are connected with insecurity. why?... because when people want to caused insecurity and specially this people that do it put drugs into them or consume in any way drugs. i think that is the relation between them.in generall i can tell you that insecurity is connected with child labor, drugs, narcotrafic and so many problems here in Cali.

8. Why do people make insecurity?

people make insecurity not for survival only. well in some cases it could be that they do it for getting money. but in some cases not. people do it because they dont care about their city, they are not showing love and respect to our city. they dont matter what ever impact they caused on the society or the damage they make to public places. really here in cali people do it because they like it and they dont care about our city.

9. What could it be a solution for this problem?

Really at this time i dont think we could finish over this problem. because now this problem has become very big. but at least i think the goverment shoul apport something that helps to reduce the insecurity or to make laws which are not in favor of insecurity. or at least apport something good that makes insecurity reduce. but i think is not only goverment we can apport with little but good things to our city so that there is a good place to live.
